In the summer of 1940, a hastily built internment camp on the Curragh of Kildare opened its gates to receive the first of over a thousand captured IRA men. For the next six years, they were suppressed and completely isolated from Irish society. It was to be the last battle of the civil war as the IRA was crushed by its former comrades and destroyed by internal conflict.
